What does it mean to rebuild yourself - when life breaks you open?

Angus Maxfield is the founder of Jumeirah Johns Running Club (JJRC) - one of Dubai’s most authentic and fastest growing fitness communities built around connection, discipline, and self-discovery. But beyond the running shoes and sunrise miles, Angus’ story is one of resilience - learning to find purpose after losing his brother, and using movement as a form of healing.

In this raw conversation, we explore how pain becomes power, how risk defines your 20s and 30s, and why staying pure and authentic is the highest form of strength. Angus shares the lessons that running, and life, have taught him about grief, growth, and being human.
